The Saskatoon Blades acquired 19-year-old goaltender Koen Cleaver from the Lethbridge Hurricanes for a ninth-round pick in the 2029 WHL Prospects Draft. Cleaver, who has a 2-3 record and .871 save percentage in six games this season, brings five seasons of WHL experience and will join a Saskatoon tandem with Martin Psohlavec. The Blades said they believe a fresh start will help Cleaver develop. Separately, Saskatoon traded defenseman Isaac Poll to the Wenatchee Wild for 20-year-old captain Josh Fluker and a 2027 fourth-round pick; both defensemen are returning from injury-shortened periods.
